Featured Austro Hungarian Fish pendant

After a dry spell I finally seem to have found something really nice.
Look at this beauty! It was listed online on a very blurry picture of a junk lot, but I had seen enough with just a glimpse of it.
I think its Austro Hungarian, silver, nacré (mother of pearl) some very sorry pearl drops and no idea what the tiny red and green stones are.
There are no marks, unfortunately.
Never saw a green dolphin but one of my friends immediately started calling them dolphins to my surprise.
I thought they were just regular fish.
In the 'junk' lot there also was an ivory necklace (poor fantjes), two silver bangles, some brooches and a Sarah Coventey ring.
Not bad at all for a few tenners.
So what do you think, are those green creatures dolpins/dolfijnen?
Or do you also just like me think they are
fish?
Thank you very much!
Happy with them anyhow (although the husband has a rather large dislike for dolphins)

 

Oohh! Lovely find!
Don't you love blurry pics of lots with promising pieces
Stylistic ornemanist's so called dolphins have nothing zoological correct but there, I'm with you for these being fishes so... hubby can love them too

 

Ditto, Renaissance Revival, very likely AH, and a great find.

As usual.

Yes, they're meant to be fijntjes. The Classic way of depicting dolphins.

Perfect!

 

Any Jewelry, thank you very much for your reply!
Really, dolfijnen/fijntjes?
I didn't see that at all!
Omg, I will hide this fact for hubby

 

Kyratango yes! blurry pictures are the best!
Always in for some good presents when it gets home finally.
The not so good stuff gets banned to the back room

 

They don't look like them, but the Classic world thought they did.

Vindt hij fijntjes niet fijn?

 

AJ don't ask why, he has very deep reasons I cant possibly explain online, maar inderdaad!
He really doesn't like dolphins

 

Its a running joke in the family.
A fijntje never did anything wrong to him or any of us.
Still, we often tease by gifting dolphin-themed stuff

 

Poor guy.
Still, they don't look like dolphins, so to him they're fish, right?

 

Dolphinfish/Mahi Mahi

 

Oh, I want that, badly.

 

Aka YummyYummy, but I like the pendant too. Looks like it's missing a few bits though.

 

At first I thought it was Koi, then I thought nah, it's probably a large mouth bass. Never would have guessed Dolphin. Ha ha.

 

they look like fountain spouts..
... .

 

AKA stylized cutie dolphins!!!!!!!!!! Nice catch @Dessert58 !!!

 

Sadistic!

 

Kyratango...omg you haven't met my youngest daughter yet. Looks like a sweet angel but she is the worst of them. She didnt get the bad character traits from me though

 

Dessert probably has some replacement pearlies in a box somewhere.

 

Bet he keeps them with the list of dolphin jokes!

 

Evelynb30 in fact yes indeed, I do have some replacement pearls laying around.
No big deal.
